Route Choice
We have chosen the Easton Glacier route on Mt. Baker for the best summit chances and access to training terrain. The Easton Glacier route is one of two popular routes on Mt. Baker, offering the most reliable access and terrain while providing interesting climbing through beautiful glaciers.
Every expedition originates in Sedro-Woolley, WA where the team meet and take care of any last minute logistics while in reliable cell service. We head to the trailhead as a team.
We approach the Easton Glacier from Schriebers Meadow passing through lowland temperate rainforest before ascending to higher alpine meadows on the flanks of Mt Baker. A final push brings us to Sandy Camp beside the toe of the Easton Glacier. Walking through massive Douglas Firs, Hemlocks and beautiful meadows is a great way to start your expedition before moving into the land of snow, ice and rock for your climb.
Climbing Mt. Baker requires solid fitness, the ability to perform well with a 40 pound pack, and the mindset to dig deep and enjoy the process of climbing a large volcano.
